IPL 2023: Ranking Top Captains on Performance
MS Dhoni was once again fantastic with his captaincy style in IPL 2023.
2. Faf du Plessis (RCB)- {8.5/10}
Francois du Plessis was given the long-pending task of Royal Challengers Bangalore. The former Proteas international joined this Bangalore franchise last year and replaced their longest-serving captain Virat Kohli. Faf, a born leader, brought a breath of fresh air into their dugout.
Faf who retired from international cricket, is still going strong with the bat. He almost carried RCB's batting on his shoulder along with Virat. Being an opener gave him the power to control the game and his impactful consistent innings gave cushion to the RCB's rookie bowlers.
RCB never had any consistent performers except a few who kept piling runs and who took wickets. Their bowling attack was impacted due to Reece Topley and Josh Hazelwood's unfortunate injuries. Still, they managed to perform their best. Faf, who has won IPL titles with CSK, knows how to achieve the ultimate success. If Harshal, Hasaranga, Shahbaz, and to some extent, Maxwell would have performed their best, RCB could have sealed the first four spots. They have been unfortunate to lose control of the game in important moments.
